Adjustable grinder

Abstract

An adjustable grinder, includes a container, a stator, a rotor, a drum, and a rotary slide. The container can hold a product to be ground. The stator is positioned on the container. The rotor is positioned opposite to the stator and can rotate with respect to the stator. The drum is positioned around the rotor. The rotary slide includes a pointer that can be adjusted such that a distance between the stator and the rotor increases or decreases.

1. An adjustable grinder, comprising:
 a container configured to hold a product to be ground; 
 a stator positioned on the container; 
 a rotor positioned opposite to the stator and configured to rotate with respect to the stator; 
 a drum positioned around the rotor and attached to the container at a first end of the drum; and 
 a rotary slide including a pointer that overlaps a second end of the drum, the second end of the drum being opposite to the first end, and is configured to be adjusted such that a distance between the stator and the rotor increases or decreases. 
 
     
     
       2. The adjustable grinder according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a cap positioned on the drum, 
 wherein the pointer of the rotary slide extends between the cap and the drum. 
 
     
     
       3. An adjustable grinder, comprising:
 a first grinding element; 
 a second grinding element positioned opposite to the first grinding element and configured to rotate with respect to the first grinding element; and 
 a rotary slide including a pointer that is configured to be adjusted such that a distance between the first grinding element and the second grinding element increases or decreases, 
 wherein the second grinding element includes a plurality of flexible tabs in contact with the first grinding element to bias the second grinding element away from the first grinding element and to keep the second grinding element in contact with the rotary slide. 
 
     
     
       4. The adjustable grinder according to  claim 3 , wherein the first grinding element is a stator. 
     
     
       5. Thee adjustable grinder according to  claim 4 , wherein the second grinding element is a rotor.
